In refinr: Cluster and Merge Similar Values Within a Character Vector

refinr 0.3.3

• Docs patch, at the request of CRAN (#15)
• Remove requirement on C++11. For more info, see here.

refinr 0.3.2

• Fix failure: length > 1 in coercion to logical issue in n_gram_merge(), in commit 4336ee6.

refinr 0.3.1

IMPROVEMENTS

• Package is now linking to the stringdist C API, and calling C functions in place of using stringdist::stringdistmatrix(). This change results in speed improvements in function n_gram_merge(), and requires that stringdist v0.9.5.1 or greater be installed.

refinr 0.3.0

PKG API CHANGES

• In function n_gram_merge(), renamed arg edit_dist_weights to weight. The only purpose of this arg is to be passed along to function stringdistmatrix from the stringdist package (which uses the name weight, so this change is simply to match that).

BUG FIXES

• Fixed issue in which input strings that contained accent marks were not being properly handled/clustered (#9). The fix involved adding stringi to Imports and using stringi::stri_trans_general().

• Fixed issue in n_gram_merge() in which incorrect values were being return when input arg ignore_strings was not NULL, and arg bus_suffix = FALSE (#7).

• Fixed issue in which input strings that contained punctuation that was NOT surrounded by spaces was returning incorrect values (#6).

• Fixed issue in which the edit value assigned to a cluster was sometimes not the most frequent string in that cluster (#5).

NEW FEATURES

• Rewrote some of the cpp functions to incorporate std::unordered_map(), resulting in a substantial speed improvement when passing large character vectors (length 100,000+) to either of the exported functions (#8).

refinr 0.2.0 (2018-01-10)

• released on CRAN
